With the PSA of 1.7 you really are in a good spot. That’s very low and unless it hits five or six, they probably don’t even want to do a biopsy. To reassure yourself, maybe you could get retested every three months for a while, just to make sure it doesn’t keep rising. 1.7 is really close to normal for someone 72.

It is extremely unlike this means you have prostate cancer, those of us with prostate cancer had much higher PSA’s when cancer was detected.

You don’t even qualify for active waiting.

Had an error with that “active waiting” reference.

Old days it was watchful waiting
Now called active surveillance

Got a little bit of each in my reply.
